| 11:23 | <Razathorn> | I have a suggestion. Don't allow people to enter their username or password *FROM* a non ssl web page. I realize the action sends the submission data to an https url, but that does not keep someone from defeating the entire purpose of SSL trust by doing a man in the middle or dns poison attack and redirecting linode.com to their own site, which then silently collects usernames and passwords |

| 12:22 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: next you'll be suggesting that Linode provide end users antivirus, so that they are not succeptable to keyloggers on their systems. |
| 12:24 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: MITM or dns poisoning attacks are outside the realm of that which linode can control, so your suggestions are moot. |
| 12:35 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: Give me some credit here and think a little longer about my suggestion. If usernames and passwords are only collected from HTTPS pages, and end users know that linode.com only asks for your credentials on a https page, then if someone DOES do one of the before mentioned attack vectors, they cannot make 'a linode page' that shows https://whatever.linode.com/whatever that has them enter password credentials because the server cert would |
| 12:36 | <Razathorn> | now obviously they could do a http:// page, but it's ONLY because people SETUP pages that allow usernames and passwords on http:// urls that people have come to accept the practice |
| 12:37 | <Razathorn> | It's not bullet proof, but it's a GoodThing(tm) for companies to do |
| 12:40 | <afv-13> | suggestion of https over all pages? |
| 12:40 | <Razathorn> | For example, our company has a main 'pretty site' that is not https. At one point, we gave people to simply enter username/password on the main page and it would https post to the other app server. If our 'pretty site' was hacked, passwords could be collected and it would look *NO DIFFERENT* than normal. |
| 12:41 | <Razathorn> | What we did was replace the login box with a link to the https login page. Now if someone manages to hack the pretty site, they at least have to make the experience different to collect passwords. |
| 12:41 | <Razathorn> | ie, the end user experience has the potential to at least raise a red flag that something is different |
| 12:42 | <Razathorn> | all of a sudden, where they entered credentials was no longer https and had a gold lock |
| 12:42 | <afv-13> | not necessarily, they could just change the link to a page of their own |
| 12:42 | <afv-13> | the logic is flawed |
| 12:42 | <Razathorn> | would their page be https? |
| 12:42 | <Razathorn> | if so, it would be a different domain |
| 12:43 | <Razathorn> | it's not bullet proof, as I mentioned, it's just a GoodThing(tm) |
| 12:43 | <afv-13> | inyouropinion(tm) |
| 12:43 | <Razathorn> | not just my opinion ;) |
| 12:43 | <Razathorn> | I assure you I'm not the only one who does it |
| 12:43 | <afv-13> | kwhatever(tm) |
| 12:44 | <Razathorn> | What good argument against this practice do you have? |
| 12:44 | <tierra> | so use the actual "Members" link to get the login page which actually *is* HTTPS with the login form |
| 12:44 | <tierra> | it's not a GoodThing(tm) to make the main index page HTTPS |
| 12:45 | <Razathorn> | tierra: That's great for end users who are smart enough to do that |
| 12:45 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: your mind seems to be infected with the verisign propaganda that SSL certificates mean that everything is A-OKAY. |
| 12:45 | <Razathorn> | tierra: I'm not suggesting ssl indexes, seriously |
| 12:45 | <afv-13> | Razathorn: for me, any page where you enter details, be it your credentials or shoe size should be over ssl |
| 12:45 | <tierra> | hey, it's ultimately up to the end user to ensure their security and validate the certificates anyway... |
| 12:45 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: Even if an SSL certificate is signed by a trusted authority in your browser (say geotrust), that doesn't mean that the webserver you're talking to is infact the server or the company you think it is. |
| 12:45 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: It doesn't make everything A-OKAY, but it certainly makes things better than average |
| 12:45 | <afv-13> | but that's because of privacy |
| 12:46 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: somone would have to steal a private key then |
| 12:46 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: Geotrust gave an SSL certificate to some random person, that allowed them to impersonate a bank. |
| 12:46 | <warewolf> | why steal a private key when you can just buy a cert? |
| 12:46 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: buying a cert is a whole different level of complexity for an attacker |
| 12:46 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: plus it leaves a paper trail |
| 12:47 | <tierra> | if you're not suggesting an SSL index, then what are you complaining about.... all the rest of the logins on the site are HTTPS |
| 12:47 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: I'm not talking about solving a problem 100%, I'm talking about making it a lot harder |
| 12:47 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: your suggestions make zero difference! |
| 12:47 | <Razathorn> | tierra: the login box is on a http:// page that could be spoofed |
| 12:47 | <tierra> | are you recommending the login be removed from the index? |
| 12:47 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: how do you figure. |
| 12:47 | <@mikegrb> | Razathorn: end users that aren't smart enough to login on the member's page are the same ones that blindly click ok when they get an ssl cert warning |
| 12:47 | <Razathorn> | tierra: yes -- exactly |
| 12:47 | <Razathorn> | mikegrb: perhaps, I agree, but it's still better to some degree |
| 12:47 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: 1) End users are dumb. |
| 12:48 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: 2) MITM/DNS poisoning attacks are entirely outside of any control of Linode |
| 12:48 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: 3) SSL is /encryption/, not a chain of trust, eventhough verisign would like you to think it is. |
| 12:49 | <Razathorn> | So instead of ponteitally making it harder to exploit, making it more effort on the part of an attacker, we'd rather just say "it's not our problem" or "the solution isn't bullet proof" when in reality it does add a good degree of difficulty to the attacker and a non trivial additional amount of security for the end user |
| 12:50 | <warewolf> | "when in reality it does add a good degree of difficulty to the attacker" |
| 12:50 | <warewolf> | wrong |
| 12:50 | <Razathorn> | wrong? |
| 12:50 | <Razathorn> | how so |
| 12:50 | <warewolf> | dude, I do penetration testing and information security for a living. |
| 12:50 | <Razathorn> | if you have to get an SSL cert |
| 12:51 | <@mikegrb> | all they need to due is self sign a cert |
| 12:51 | <warewolf> | I *write* suggestions on how to make stuff bulletproof. |
| 12:51 | <warewolf> | and yes it is possible to do |
| 12:51 | <@mikegrb> | s/due/do/ |
| 12:52 | <warewolf> | the rule of thumb is this: don't trust anyone |
| 12:52 | <Razathorn> | a self signed cert is going to make a browser warning |
| 12:52 | <@mikegrb> | yes |
| 12:52 | <warewolf> | meaning this: the client must authenticate the server, and the server must authenticate the client. |
| 12:52 | <Razathorn> | and the guy who came up with this policy works as a pen tester all day long too so enough with the "i've got X credentials" bla bla bla |
| 12:52 | <@mikegrb> | but the target demographic you say would benifit from this are the same people that blindly click okay when they get these warnings |
| 12:53 | <Razathorn> | dispel or explain why what I'm suggesting doesnt' add some extra level of difficulty for the attacker |
| 12:53 | <warewolf> | the only way to do that in a HTTP/HTTPS solution is to have Linode give everyone a client certificate (a certificate for you, and only you) in their browser, and then have end users import the Linode SSL server certificate into their browser. |
| 12:54 | <Razathorn> | you can argue that SSL 'chain of trust' isn't that, but in reality, it's fairly good at doing just that for most cases |
| 12:54 | <warewolf> | that way the browser says "Okay, I have a linode.com ssl cert that is cert id 0xDEADBEEF" and when it connects to a MITM or DNS poisoned server, it says "Hey, you're not 0xDEADBEEF, this isn't right." |
| 12:55 | <warewolf> | and the webserver on linode.com says "Okay, you're saying that you're warewolf, I know warewolf's key id is 0xFEEDABBA -- your key is 0xBA53BA11, you lose." |
| 12:55 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: guess again. Windows vista has the exact same implimentation of a "chain of trust" in UAC. Guess what users do EVERY TIME when UAC asks if an application can run as administrator? |
| 12:55 | <warewolf> | They click yes. |
| 12:56 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: I understand the stupid user problem |
| 12:56 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: please assume we can fix that at some point |
| 12:56 | <Razathorn> | IF everyone only collected information about login on https gold lock/key pages, then end users would be more likely to only submit it to those |
| 12:57 | <Razathorn> | it's a philosophy to improve the standard of security |
| 12:57 | <Razathorn> | not a magic bullet |
| 12:57 | <warewolf> | it's wishful thinking. |
| 12:57 | <warewolf> | and also not bloody likely to happen |
| 12:57 | <@mikegrb> | but even if there is a gold lock/key, it doesn't mean the user is safe |
| 12:58 | <warewolf> | exactly |
| 12:58 | <@mikegrb> | it could just as easily be a phishing page |
| 12:58 | <Razathorn> | mikegrb: no, but there's a much greater chance that that they are |
| 12:58 | <@mikegrb> | not realy |
| 12:58 | <Razathorn> | mikegrb: how so? |
| 12:58 | <@mikegrb> | I'd say same level |
| 12:58 | <Razathorn> | what? |
| 12:58 | <@mikegrb> | there is nothing special about https |
| 12:58 | <Razathorn> | other than a root ca of course |
| 12:58 | <@mikegrb> | there is no real trust there for a normal user |
| 12:59 | <@mikegrb> | but root cas don't matter to normal users |
| 12:59 | <Razathorn> | why do you say that? |
| 12:59 | <@mikegrb> | they always click okay! |
| 12:59 | <Razathorn> | please stop making that argument |
| 12:59 | <Razathorn> | that's silly |
| 12:59 | <@mikegrb> | it's the truth |
| 12:59 | <@mikegrb> | the linode certificate accidently expired |
| 12:59 | <Razathorn> | you're going to make policy based on what the stupidest of users do |
| 12:59 | <@mikegrb> | people still logged in for weeks until it was fixed |
| 12:59 | <Razathorn> | i believe you |
| 12:59 | <@mikegrb> | it's not what the stupidest of users do |
| 12:59 | <Razathorn> | really, I run some ssl sites believe it or not |
| 12:59 | <@mikegrb> | it is what 99% of users do |
| 13:00 | <@mikegrb> | could have fooled me |
| 13:00 | <Razathorn> | heh |
| 13:00 | <Razathorn> | well I specifically work with more security minded folks, and I would have hoped that linux admins would have fallen into that barrel as well |

| 13:03 | <kvandivo> | breakfast rocks |
| 13:03 | <blorpy> | Razathorn: would you prefer celery and peanut butter or just d.e.e.z ? |
| 13:04 | <Razathorn> | It's just hard to believe that nobody else sees the non trivial amount of additional difficulty (or at least additional skill) for an attacker and the non trivial amount of extra security for the end user. |
| 13:04 | <blorpy> | concentrate! make your choice |
| 13:04 | <Razathorn> | requiring the attacker to GET an ssl cert is a good thing |
| 13:04 | <Razathorn> | not bad |
| 13:05 | <Razathorn> | just because people are stupid and will use the 'weak door' when left open, doesnt' mean we should leave it open |
| 13:05 | <@mikegrb> | but moving the door three feet down the hall doesn't make it any less weak |
| 13:05 | <Razathorn> | mikegrb: it does if half the attackers can't reach it |
| 13:05 | <kvandivo> | your whole argument is predicated upon the user not being stupid and seeing if they are on https first, though |
| 13:06 | <Razathorn> | kvandivo: I readily admit that |
| 13:06 | <@mikegrb> | kvandivo: that and that being https means it is the right server |
| 13:06 | <kvandivo> | i suspect that any user that thinks to check that is about as likely to just browse the source and see where the form is getting submitted to |
| 13:06 | <@mikegrb> | which for 99% of users doesn't really mean anything |
| 13:06 | <Razathorn> | mikegrb: why do you have zero faith in the trust model? |
| 13:06 | <kvandivo> | well.. not _any_ user.. but most users |
| 13:07 | <@mikegrb> | Razathorn: because 99% of users make sure there is no fait in it |
| 13:07 | <@mikegrb> | faith even |
| 13:07 | <Razathorn> | mikegrb: what about me, what about if I go to linode via https -- are you saying I cannot be reasonably assured that I'm talking to linode ? |

| 13:08 | <@mikegrb> | 99% of people can't |

| 13:13 | <npmr> | i can see how an attack against the current system could work |
| 13:13 | <Razathorn> | I just figured that linode customers would be a little better -- but it seems that isn't the case, which also seems to get me called out for being 'high and mighty' for pointing it out |
| 13:13 | <Razathorn> | and linode customers is where I got 'linux admin' from -- obviously those logging in would be linux admins |
| 13:13 | <npmr> | but making the login form only accessible via https connection is a very small dent in a very large problem |
| 13:13 | <Razathorn> | and I HOPED that linux admins as a whole would be more of a security mindset to notice things like https issues that 99% of normal stupid users click through |
| 13:14 | <Razathorn> | npmr: yes, but a dent none the less |
| 13:14 | <chris> | I log into my linode control panel every 6-7 months, it's about the same timeframe as when I accidentally reboot my linode rather than my laptop |
| 13:14 | <chris> | So https? meh |
| 13:14 | <Razathorn> | I'm satisfied that everyone understands the suggestion. I'm not really up for debating it anylonger, I think what can be said on both sides has been said. Let's just leave it at that |
| 13:14 | <npmr> | it's also possible to be immune to dns poisoning |
| 13:15 | |-| | adamg [~misthos@zeus.misthos.com] has joined #linode |
| 13:15 | <npmr> | at least dns poisoning in the linode.com domain |
| 13:15 | <warewolf> | (not a linode employee, comments made by me are no way endorsed by Linode, LLC) Linode isn't a military instutuion. Linode is commited to providing affordable VPS service -- and they do a damn fine job of it too. Unfortunately, those of us who have been in #linode for quite some time have noticed that there are many linode customers who simply should not be administering their own *nix boxes -- because they don't know how. |
| 13:16 | <Razathorn> | heh |
| 13:16 | <npmr> | that is true |
| 13:16 | <warewolf> | npmr: requires upgrades to support DNSSEC on all network stacks. Unlikely. |
| 13:16 | <npmr> | warewolf, no it doesn't |
| 13:16 | <Razathorn> | well here's the whole reason I even suggested this |
| 13:16 | <Razathorn> | linodes.com is owned by linode right? |
| 13:16 | <Razathorn> | note the s at the end of linodes.com |
| 13:17 | <npmr> | warewolf, set up the dns proxy on your home network to forward queries to bind running on your linode which forwards to the linode nameservers |
| 13:17 | <npmr> | therefore, all of your queries are ultimately being answered by linode's ns infrastructure |
| 13:17 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: yes, from looking at whois records it would appear to be owned by Linode, but whois records can be falsified. |
| 13:18 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: I'm willing to guess that the records are not falsified, and that linodes.com is infact owned by Linode, LLC. |
| 13:18 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: I checked whois as well |
| 13:18 | <Razathorn> | logging in from http://linodes.com fails |
| 13:18 | <warewolf> | maybe you should log into linode's real website, linode.com. |
| 13:19 | <Razathorn> | that's when I thought "oh crap, I just gave out my password to the wrong site" |
| 13:19 | <Razathorn> | and went to linode.com and changed my password real quick like |
| 13:19 | <chris> | I believe his point is there is a linodes.com that seems to take login information but does not act like an actual interface |
| 13:19 | <warewolf> | I'd venture a guess that Linode, LLC purchased linodes.com to prevent cybersquatters from doing exactly that. |
| 13:19 | <chris> | Which is actually a concern if true |
| 13:19 | <npmr> | linodes.com is caker's |
| 13:19 | <warewolf> | chris: linodes.com should probally redirect to linode.com. |
| 13:19 | <Razathorn> | yeah |
| 13:19 | <chris> | Yes, but it doesn't? |
| 13:19 | <warewolf> | chris: not allow logins |
| 13:19 | <chris> | That's the point I presume |
| 13:20 | <warewolf> | chris: okay, so misconfiguration on apache. Nobody's perfect. |
| 13:20 | <warewolf> | well, except for the reverened Razathorn, I mean. |
| 13:20 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: burn |
| 13:20 | <chris> | Considering the number of fake bank websites and such, seems like it's a valid complaint |
| 13:20 | <chris> | But you guys feel like flaming him because of it. So uh.. grats |
| 13:21 | <chris> | I don't particularly care about the https issue though, fwiw |
| 13:21 | <warewolf> | chris: no, we're flaming him on his flawed suggested solution. |
| 13:21 | <npmr> | chris, don't forget that i could spoof your domain :P |
| 13:21 | <Razathorn> | I was just thinking that if it was a https site normally, I would have noticed I went to the wrong site. The key phrase is *I* would have. not 99% of users it seems |
| 13:21 | <warewolf> | chris: a valid suggestion would be to have linodes.com simply redirect to linode.com. |
| 13:21 | <chris> | npmr: You're still my backup mx aren't you? I forgot completely :o |
| 13:21 | <npmr> | heh |
| 13:22 | <Razathorn> | I didn't know I could get to a https login page elsewhere |
| 13:22 | <warewolf> | ooh |
| 13:22 | <Razathorn> | if you click members, it's not https, if you click login, it is |
| 13:22 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: guess what! |
| 13:22 | <Razathorn> | warewolf: more pointless insults? |
| 13:22 | <linbot> | New news from forums: [RFC] New Member's User Interface - Dashboard in Linode.com Announcements <http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2631> |
| 13:22 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: Compare the SSL certificate of https://www.linode.com/ to https://www.linodes.com/ ~ |
| 13:23 | <warewolf> | They're the same SSL certificate! |
| 13:23 | <warewolf> | so, no foul. |
| 13:23 | <Razathorn> | would have been nice to receive a warning if the login page was ssl only |
| 13:23 | <Razathorn> | cause then I would have |
| 13:23 | <warewolf> | and pshaw, you inspect SSL certificates every time something has gone awry. |
| 13:23 | <npmr> | i don't know about all you hobos but i always explicitly go to the https site to login in anyway |
| 13:23 | <warewolf> | npmr: which is an excellent idea |

| 13:24 | <Razathorn> | npmr: I will too. I suggest that the members TAB also go to https as well |
| 13:24 | <npmr> | yeah, like i said earlier, dumb users can rot |
| 13:24 | <Razathorn> | right now the only way to get to a https page is to hit the login |
| 13:24 | <Razathorn> | the members tab is specifically http:// |
| 13:24 | <npmr> | or explicitly type https instead of http |
| 13:24 | <npmr> | there is no *only* way |
| 13:24 | <warewolf> | Razathorn: So, at this point -- all of your points have been discussed, and proven invalid. You are now a troll, and I don't feed trolls. Welcome to my ignore list! |
| 13:25 | <Razathorn> | man warewolf, you're a real ass, you know that? |
| 13:25 | <Razathorn> | you're the only one who can't be civil in this whole bunch |
| 13:25 | [~] | scott fondles Razathorn |
| 13:25 | <Razathorn> | guess disagreeing with someone is grounds for dislike |
| 13:26 | <afv-13> | linodes.com doesn't have an ssl cert, it directs everything other than the login form to linode.com |
| 13:26 | <npmr> | i've disagreed with him before and he still likes me |
| 13:26 | <npmr> | doncha, sweetie? |
| 13:26 | <Razathorn> | npmr: Dunno what I did. Guess not taking his "I'm a pen tester I do this all day" as a valid answer to my suggestion was too much |
| 13:26 | <warewolf> | him who |
| 13:26 | <npmr> | you |
| 13:27 | <warewolf> | oh |
| 13:27 | <warewolf> | yeah I have nothing against you |
| 13:27 | <npmr> | right on |
| 13:29 | <warewolf> | a solution to a technical vulnerability should be well planned, and checked. Raz's was ill-conceived. A non-solution hack to solve a nonexistant problem. |
| 13:29 | <warewolf> | existent* |
| 13:29 | <Razathorn> | Takes a big man to ignore somone and then continue to speak badly of them |
| 13:30 | <warewolf> | Takes a coward to think he can talk about someone behind his /ignore. |
| 13:30 | <Razathorn> | why don't you scroll back and see who started being uncivil and started flinging insults first mkay? |

| 13:30 | <Razathorn> | I wanted nothing but to discuss the issue, but you couldn't do that -- and as others noted, you would rather flame me and call me a troll. |
| 13:31 | <npmr> | this is better than hannity and colmes! |
| 13:32 | <Razathorn> | npmr: nah, on hannnity and colmes you cannot use "I do this for a living" as a valid argument against the other side |
| 13:33 | <Razathorn> | you actually have to speak to the issue, not dismiss it and make fun of the other side |
| 13:33 | <Razathorn> | for example, mikegrb was perfectly able to explain his views and I fully understand and appreciate them. I'm really not sure what warewolf thinks other than I'm a moron |
| 13:36 | <@mikegrb> | I thought all the did on H&C was make fun of the other side |

| 13:36 | <SpaceHobo> | oh, warewolf |
| 13:36 | <warewolf> | ? |

| 17:11 | <Xel> | What's up? |
| 17:11 | <afv-13> | as a replacement for apt-get it's better at handling dependencies |
| 17:11 | <Rifkin> | it just segvs on me on startup |
| 17:11 | <afv-13> | as a frontend it's crap |
| 17:12 | <Rifkin> | I've been using aptitude for several months, and it's been fine for me, but today I tried it and.. it just segv on startup |
| 17:12 | <Rifkin> | apt-get does the same |
| 17:12 | <Xel> | afv, I meant as a frontend :P I don't have many dep issues with apt-get to be honest. |
| 17:13 | <Xel> | Rifkin, err... |
| 17:13 | <Xel> | Get rooted? |
| 17:13 | <Xel> | Heh |
| 17:13 | <Rifkin> | I hope not |
| 17:13 | <Rifkin> | that's a scary thought |
| 17:13 | <afv-13> | Xel: anything that removes cruft and packages that aren't required to me is better :p |
| 17:13 | <Xel> | I just ask because binaries usually don't just start segfaulting. |
| 17:13 | <Rifkin> | I don't see anything amiss besides that |
| 17:14 | <Xel> | afv, ever use deborphan? |
| 17:14 | <Xel> | Rifkin, hmm... Possible a corrupt archive respository? |
| 17:14 | <afv-13> | yup, it's part of my clean_deb script |
| 17:14 | <Xel> | Locally |
| 17:14 | <afv-13> | localepurge is also helpful |
| 17:14 | <Rifkin> | how can I clean that out? If I just do apt-get clean it still segvs |
| 17:14 | <Rifkin> | apt-get -h does display useage info |
| 17:15 | <npmr> | Rifkin, rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin |
| 17:15 | <Rifkin> | so apt-get works.... minimally |
| 17:15 | <Xel> | Rif, /var/cache/apt |
| 17:15 | <Xel> | *.bin |
| 17:15 | <Xel> | npmr screw you :p |
| 17:15 | <npmr> | :P |
| 17:15 | <afv-13> | Rifkin: do a quick ldconfig |
| 17:15 | <Xel> | Rif, remove or rename those files. The /var/cache/apt/*.bin |
| 17:15 | <Rifkin> | ok, let me try rm'ing the cache |
| 17:15 | <Xel> | Then try apt-get update |
| 17:16 | <npmr> | yeah, you'll need to update after that before you can do anything else |
| 17:16 | <Rifkin> | ok, apt-get update is working now, after I removed the cache files |
| 17:16 | <Rifkin> | thanks! |
| 17:17 | <Rifkin> | and aptitude is working again :) |
| 17:17 | <Xel> | That was the problem |

| 19:00 | <@caker> | scott: my Dad works for Apple, you know. how offensive of you |
| 19:00 | <@caker> | Nigel: yeah - ticket |
| 19:00 | <scott> | oO |

| 19:02 | [~] | scott ponders his escape |
| 19:02 | <@caker> | my Dad was the anti-salesman (engrish teacher/high school/retired), would rape car salespeople (figuratively) and somehow he's managed to be the best Apple salesperson in AC (by like 2x what others sell). Pretty amazing |
| 19:03 | <scott> | nice |
| 19:03 | <warewolf> | caker- yeah, I made one wisecrack at that guy, pointed out the faults in his suggestion, and then he wouldn't get off his high horse. It all went down hill from there. |
| 19:03 | <Nigel> | oh yeah... i forgot... |
| 19:03 | <@caker> | he's been an Apple advocate (edumacation and all that) since the Apple ][, so it was pretty cool that he's now on Apple's payroll |

| 19:03 | <scott> | caker: how did he land taht job? |
| 19:03 | <scott> | indeed |
| 19:04 | <scott> | free ipods for everyone! |
| 19:04 | <Nigel> | scott: i'd assume the first step would be applying? |
| 19:04 | <@caker> | hehe .. I will admit to receiving a significant discount on this MacBook Pro 17" :) |
| 19:04 | <Nigel> | :P |
| 19:04 | <scott> | pah |
| 19:04 | <scott> | Nigel: it usually takes something extra to get yuor foot in the door |
| 19:04 | <Nigel> | "Sign up for Linode today, and get an obligation free iPod" :P |
| 19:04 | <scott> | at least in my experiances |
| 19:04 | <scott> | heh |
| 19:05 | <@caker> | I've ben pretty lucky i that regard -- working in education all those years meant Education discounts on every Apple I've ever owned |
| 19:05 | <scott> | :D |
| 19:05 | <warewolf> | wow, today was only a 9 hour day. |
| 19:05 | <@caker> | ok, since you asked: Apple ][c, Apple ][gs, uh .. Powermac 6100 .. Powermac 9500 (badass at the time), tibook 667, and the mcpro17 |
| 19:05 | <Nigel> | maybe a 6 month contract just to retain the customers but yeah, Linode would be one of the biggest :P |
| 19:05 | <warewolf> | I'm short of my regular day by 2 hours! |
| 19:05 | [~] | warewolf cheers |
| 19:06 | <warewolf> | I'm 12 hours over this week |
| 19:06 | <scott> | caker: no mac pro?! |
| 19:06 | [~] | warewolf heads home |
| 19:06 | <scott> | warewolf: later |
| 19:06 | <Nigel> | mcpro17 = MacBook Pro |
| 19:06 | <@caker> | uh, yeah |
| 19:07 | <scott> | Nigel: MacBook Pro != Mac Pro |
| 19:07 | <Nigel> | oh wait, Mac pro is the desktop version right? |
| 19:07 | [~] | Nigel slaps head |
| 19:07 | <scott> | yes |
| 19:07 | <scott> | i have a powerbook at work |
| 19:07 | <scott> | 15" |
| 19:07 | <scott> | still works great |

| 19:10 | <Nigel> | personally, I think Desktop PCs are redundant these days |
| 19:11 | <scott> | eomtimes |
| 19:11 | <Nigel> | Laptops just about do what desktops do just as way (cept maybe Graphics tasks and Virtualization) |
